CVE-2026-80796
UnknownSummary
The NCI activation parameter extractors (nci_extract_activation_params_iso_dep and nci_extract_activation_params_nfc_dep) lack length checks before memcpy, allowing a crafted notification to cause a slab out-of-bounds read.
Risk Assessment
A remote attacker can send a crafted NCI notification to cause an out-of-bounds kernel memory read, potentially exposing sensitive data or crashing the system.
Recommendation
Apply the patch that adds a data_len parameter to both functions, validates the region, and clamps the copy length.
Other vulnerabilities in Linux kernel
See all- CVE-2026-98162Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the smb2_tree_connect() function of the SMB server (ksmbd) leaks a tree connection. When ksmbd_iov_pin_rsp() fails, the newly created tree connection is not disconnected, leading to a resource leak.
- CVE-2026-98161Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the nvdimm (pmem) pmem_submit_bio() function records a REQ_PREFLUSH error but continues to copy bio data and can later overwrite the error with a successful REQ_FUA flush. This allows data writes to run after a failed preflush and can complete the bio successfully despite the failed ordering barrier.
- CVE-2026-98160Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the staging rtl8723bs driver's rtw_sdio_if1_init() function frees padapter->HalData with kfree(), even though it was allocated via vzalloc(). Using kfree() to release a vmalloc-backed buffer can lead to memory corruption.
- CVE-2026-100079Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the USB Type-C (ucsi) subsystem's ucsi_register() creates per-instance debugfs entries, but ucsi_unregister() keeps them until ucsi_destroy(). Drivers like ucsi_glink that unregister/register the same UCSI instance across remoteproc restart then try to create an already existing debugfs directory.
- CVE-2026-100078Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the iwlwifi (mei) driver's iwl_mei_write_cyclic_buf() function receives an incorrect first argument — the q_head pointer is passed instead of cldev. The bug has been fixed.
- CVE-2026-100077Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the drm/msm driver does not safely retire a hung submit before GPU recovery completes. Retiring the submit triggers BO free, which can result in GPU pagefaults since the GPU may be actively accessing those BOs.
- CVE-2026-100074Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a bug was fixed where the BPF_REFCOUNT field was not marked as unique, although it should be. The fix addresses this oversight.
- CVE-2026-100073Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a bug in the ext4 filesystem related to transaction overflow during writeback was fixed. A previous fix was too eager in reducing reserved transaction credits, leading to insufficient reservation in some corner cases. The fix uses ext4_meta_trans_blocks() for a correct upper bound estimate.
- CVE-2026-100072Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a problem in the ACPI subsystem was fixed where the use of acpi_get_first_physical_node() in acpi_platform_fill_resource() and acpi_create_platform_device() was unsafe because the returned device could be freed at any time. The fix replaces it with acpi_bus_get_primary_device() and adjusts the code to call it only once.
- CVE-2026-100071Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a memory leak in the HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy) module was fixed. When hsr_dev_finalize() fails after registering an RX handler, dynamic nodes learned in that window are not released. The fix frees both dynamic databases in the error unwind path.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: nci: add data_len bound checks to activation parameter extractors nci_extract_activation_params_iso_dep() and nci_extract_activation_params_nfc_dep() read an inner length byte from the NCI RF_INTF_ACTIVATED_NTF payload and use it to memcpy() into fixed kernel buffers, but neither function receives the caller-validated activation_params_len. A crafted NCI notification with activation_params_len=1 and an inner length byte of up to 20 (NFC-A) or 50 (NFC-B) causes memcpy() to read that many bytes past the one valid byte in the activation params region -- a slab out-of-bounds read of kernel memory adjacent to the NCI skb. The sibling nci_extract_rf_params_*() family was given equivalent protection by commit 571dcbeb8e63 ("net: nfc: nci: Fix parameter validation for packet data"), but the two activation parameter extractors were not updated at that time. Add a data_len parameter to both functions, guard against an empty region before consuming the inner length byte, decrement the remaining count after consuming it, and clamp the copy length to what is actually available. Update both call sites to pass ntf.activation_params_len, which is already validated against the skb at ntf.c:801.
